>-- Where is the documentation on CHKDSK.SYS?

Where most new features are documented. In the FP readme.

>-- Why would RAM "preallocation" speed up CHKDSK?

Because it can use more optimal alogorithms. My understanding is that
CHKDSK.SYS makes more virtual memory available earlier in the boot
process.

>-- Why is the additional reboot necessary?

Probably to allow the memory to be freed for other uses.

>-- What is CHKDSK32?

Which one? One is a DLL. The other is a 32-bit interface to chkdsk.

>-- Is PMCHKDSK a front end for CHKDSK, or is it something else?

It is something else. It's a GUI version of chkdsk.com or chkdsk32.exe.
All the worker code is in chkdsk32.dll.
